CHAIR OF TRUSTEES AND TRUSTEES
Do you have a heart for missionaries and those who serve on the front lines of God's kingdom?
Do you believe in the power of rest, renewal and Christian fellowship for those in ministry?
We are thrilled to be partnering with the Highbury Centre. For over 125 years, The Highbury Centre has been providing rest, renewal and Christian hospitality to missionaries and Christian workers from around the world. What began as the Foreign Missions Club has grown into something truly special, a home away from home where God's workers can rest, recharge, and reconnect with their calling.
In their beautiful Victorian building, they welcome church leaders, missionaries, aid workers and their families who come seeking not just accommodation, but genuine Christian fellowship and a space to catch their breath.
We are seeking a new Chair of Trustees and up to four new trustees to join their board at this pivotal moment in their history. As a trustee, you'll play a crucial role in shaping their strategic direction, ensuring they remain financially sustainable, maintaining their beautiful historic building, and upholding the Christian values that have guided them for more than a century.
These are voluntary roles where your insight, experience and faith-driven enthusiasm will help continue their 125-year legacy of serving missionaries and Christian workers from across the globe. You'll be part of a committed board where your contribution will make a real and visible difference.

- Finance (ideally with a relevant accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
- Building Management and Property (particularly Victorian buildings and heritage properties)
- Hospitality and Guest House Management
- Christian Missionary Work and Global Missions
Your responsibilities will include ensuring compliance with charity law, shaping strategic direction, overseeing financial health, supporting the General Manager, and acting as an ambassador for The Highbury Centre. You'll champion our unique ministry of providing rest and renewal for those serving God's kingdom worldwide.
Above all, we're looking for committed Christians with passion for mission, and a heart for serving those who serve others. We warmly welcome first-time trustees, your fresh perspective and enthusiasm are just as valuable as prior board experience.

Corrie Energy Partners is building a revolutionary solar tracker that increases energy yield, reduces costs, and enables dual-use land, specifically designed for northern climates.
One of the most significant obstacles to Net Zero is the massive waste of solar potential in the northern 40% of the global market. Above 40° latitude, traditional "static" panels squander 10% of total solar potential because they cannot follow the sun’s path. As a high-stakes hardware venture moving from R&D to commercial scale, the challenge is building the operational "muscles" required to turn technical success into a global market leader.
Our patented Latitude40 tracker solves the "tracking gap" by radically rethinking solar kinematics for northern regions. It unlocks up to 30% more energy per panel than static arrays and generates power during high-value peak hours when demand is highest. Our design reduces mechanical loads by 90% to ensure a 25-year lifespan in harsh conditions, while our proprietary firmware transforms solar arrays into intelligent, grid-responsive assets.
Role Overview:
We are looking for a mission-driven Manufacturing & Supply Chain Advisor to lead our transition from prototype to a scalable UK operation. You will be instrumental in securing the partners and certifications required to move our hardware from a proven invention to a commercially "bankable" global asset.
Key Responsibilities:
- Partner Sourcing: Identify and qualify UK steel fabrication partners of the right scale for our patented tripod frames.
- Commercial Negotiation: Develop and negotiate Heads of Terms that motivate suppliers while maintaining our production flexibility.
- Grants & Support: Navigate the UK manufacturing landscape to secure complementary support and grants (e.g., Made Smarter).
- Cost Optimization: Support Design for Manufacture (DfM) discussions to drive our reduction in production costs.
- Certification: Ideally, advise on UKCA certification for consumer market readiness and update the technical file to reflect this.
About You:
- Experienced in the solar sector or comparable steel-product manufacturing.
- Proven track record in UK manufacturing partner sourcing and cost reduction.
- Strong commercial background in negotiating supply agreements and Heads of Terms.
- Knowledge of the UK grant landscape and UKCA/CE certification processes.
Commitment & Impact:
- The Commitment: A part-time, unpaid remote volunteer role. We expect ~6 hours per week for 6 months.
- The Impact: You will be de-risking a groundbreaking technology that captures the "missing" 30% of the world's solar potential.
- What You Gain: Direct influence on the commercialization of deep-tech IP, working alongside a founding team with a 90-year track record in energy exits.
- Flexibility: We offer fully flexible meeting times to suit your professional schedule.
Minimum Hours per Week:
4-6 hours per week
Duration:
6+ months
We connect professionals with impact startups matching their causes, skills & schedule.

HERVEG.05 helps women and youth farmers grow nutritious food, raise poultry, and increase income sustainably.
HERVEG.05 addresses the critical issues of malnutrition, food insecurity, and poverty in Tanzania, which ranks among the top 15 countries globally for child stunting. Smallholder farmers, who produce the majority of the country's food, frequently lack the training and tools necessary to overcome poor soil fertility and climate-driven challenges. This creates a devastating cycle of low productivity and worsening hunger that permanently affects the development of millions of children.
The solution is a practical, climate-smart pathway designed for rural realities. HERVEG.05 utilizes a "Mobile layaway" system allowing farmers to purchase seeds and poultry inputs incrementally via phone. Their model includes hands-on training and last-mile delivery of inputs directly to remote village groups. By providing "Nutri-Reach Bundles"—which combine poultry, biofortified maize, and vegetables—the startup creates a circular economy. Poultry manure improves soil, biofortified crops fight malnutrition, and improved storage reduces waste. This integrated system builds resilience against climate change while simultaneously boosting family income and health.
We’re looking for a Food Security & Impact Data Analyst to help us analyse already collected field data from our poultry and food security programme and transform it into clear, internationally credible results.
This role is for someone who can take data from raw datasets to final impact evidence, analysis, interpretation, and storytelling.
You will work on analysing Household Hunger Scale (HHS) and Coping Strategies Index (Last 7 Days) data, assess programme impact, and develop a strong proof of concept showing how our work improves food security and livelihoods.
This role is for someone who:
- Understands how to analyse Household Hunger Scale (HHS) using FANTA / FAO / WFP methodology and can correctly score and classify hunger levels.
- Can calculate the Reduced Coping Strategy Index (rCSI) confidently.
- Knows how to apply severity weighting and analyse frequency × severity relationships.
- Can interpret household food stress levels beyond simple numbers.
- Understands emergency coping vs stress coping behaviours.
- Clearly understands food access vs food availability dynamics.
- Recognizes seasonal food insecurity patterns in rural communities.
Has strong experience using data analysis tools such as:
- Advanced Microsoft Excel (data cleaning, pivot tables, indicator calculations)
- SPSS, Stata, or R for statistical analysis
- Data visualization tools such as PowerPoint, Power BI, or Tableau to present findings clearly
Can clean datasets, interpret findings, and translate technical analysis into clear narratives and visuals. Has experience analysing agriculture, livelihood, or food security programmes.
Enjoys turning data into stories that donors, partners, and communities can understand. We have already completed data collection. What we need now is someone who can take the process to completion by delivering:
- A clear Narrative Impact Report.
- A simple slide-based Impact Presentation.
- A strong Proof of Concept report demonstrating programme outcomes.
If you believe data should not sit in spreadsheets but should prove real change for farmers, women, and youth, this is your space. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply.
Minimum Hours per Week:
10+ hours per week
Duration:
1-2 months
We connect professionals with impact startups matching their causes, skills & schedule.
